It is an emotional state when one feel the sense of satisfaction, contentment, unending joy and fulfillment. Well sit back, relax and enjoy all that I have packaged for your reading pleasure.

Are you in the category of people who wonder how some people stay happy at all times irrespective of the condition they find themselves? Perhaps, you want to live a happy life but you do not know the secret of happiness. There is no secret to happiness because it is out there in the open. The key to being happy isn't hidden, so it is your choice to decide if you want to be happy or not. The major thing is to do the things that promotes happiness in every aspect of your life from the way you talk, eat, dress, think, and so on. The kind of things you do will determine whether you will be happy or sad.

You need to develop and master the basics of being happy just like every other skill you have mastered in life. There are some things that you need to avoid in your life if you want to be happy. This is where contentment come to play in the journey of happiness. A person who want to be happy does not get moved by the things someone else owns. In other words, you must be contented with what you have and not having headache because your friends are in possession of a particular thing. Lack of contentment is the beginning of unhappiness. The bottomline is that you will be happy if you work towards mastering how to be happy.

In addition, you must stay away from a life that is characterized with deceit, hypocrisy, and dishonesty, else you will be depriving yourself from genuine happiness. A happy person is one who is real and sincere in his or dealings with other people. It takes a whole lot of energy to live a fake and dishonest life because you will always be on your toes to defend yourself when you are on the verge of being caught in the act. Whereas you will have little to worry about when you are sincere since there are no punishment for being straightforward. One thing about sincerity is that it gives you confidence and by extension happiness.

More importantly, you must learn to see good in the people and things around you as well as appreciating them. Most of us are fond of complaining about everything and it will be difficult to be happy if you never see the good in things around you. The people who are of the habit of complaining about their job, economy, friends, spouse etc will find it hard to be happy. It is crucial to stop complaining if you want to be happy. There are men who would never appreciate their wives food, it is either they complain about too much salt, pepper or spice. Happiness may be far from such a home. In essence what I'm trying to say is that you must stop complaining to enjoy some happiness in your life.
